2. The Intrinsic elements in The Unborn Ones
The intrinsic elements in this poem help the reader easily to understand the theme which is the point of that poem. These are the several intrinsic elements build
in the poem The Unborn Ones. 1. Symbol
Amas used symbol in line 10 stanza 4: salty baby mammals and also found in
14
line 11 stanza 4: to the sea. Salty here used explain about the baby that crying, where Amas used it previously, in stanza 3 lines 7. Salty baby mammals were not literary
only, but it more than what it were as the stanzas bellow: One child will now
Bury her parents. Salty baby mammals
have returned to the sea turning into little grey whales.
Here, salty in use to replace the word tears, because the taste of tears is salt. The word “baby’ has made clear that the object of someone which is crying is
the baby. In the last sentence, the word mammals explains about the human that life is like mammals, because human is mammals. This word expressed the new idea with

word crying child on the previous line. In this case, the attitude of the salty baby mammals has the same character or habit with human being.
The symbol also found in this poem, in line 11 stanza 4 to the sea, from the phrase “have returned to the sea”. Here, the speaker
feels that the sea represents the uterus, because the baby does not want to born the world where their parent does
not accept. The sea is the symbol of uterus. The writer can conclude that from the previous sentence ‘have return’.
